< Psalms 70 >
1 For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw near, O God, to my help.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, hiũha ũũhonokie; Wee Jehova ũka narua ũndeithie.
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.
Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnjũraga maroconorithio na manyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano; arĩa othe mendaga nyanangwo marocooka na thuutha maconokete.
3 Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.
Andũ arĩa mathekagĩrĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Haiya! Haiya!” marocooka na thuutha maconokete.
4 Let all that seek you exult and be glad in you: and let those that love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
No arĩa othe makũrongoragia marokena na macanjamũke; arĩa mendete ũhonokio waku marotũũra moigaga atĩrĩ, “Ngai arotũgĩrio!”
5 But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
No rĩrĩ, niĩ ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari; Wee Ngai, hiuha ũũke kũrĩ niĩ. Wee nĩwe ũteithio wakwa na mũhonokia wakwa; Wee Jehova, ndũkagonderere gũũka kũndeithia.
